Using this in a browser #7

Is there anyway to use this outside of Node with just plain javascript (with require.js) in the browser? Or is it server-side only and dependent on Node? And is ES6 required?

I guess the fact that it uses the stream api is probably gonna prohibit this. I got it to load by wrapping all the modules with define(function(require, exports, module) { });

You can disregard this, unless your intention was that the javascript could be used outside of a node application.

Quite a while ago I tried to build a browser based marc editor with marc4js. I used baconjs to wrap the call to marc4js. See https://github.com/jiaola/marc-editor/blob/master/src/js/components/marc-editor.js#L41

I don't really remember the details and that project was never completed.

Ok, I'll take a look. Thanks. You can close this issue if you want.

Actually... I'm making good progress of getting this to work with Browserify. It shims the Streams stuff and wraps the CommonJS modules as AMD. I'll keep ya posted
